“the Yahoo toolbar, the MSN toolbar, the Ask.com toolbar, and the AOL toolbar”

“the TiVo was doing something weird with the VCR”

Nothing I've seen quite captures this mode of Internet usage quite as well as the story and video. While San Francisco's cafes may hiss with sleek, quiet MacBook Airs, and many older folks glory in their iPads, there are still millions of people plugging away on their Compaq Presarios, and this variety of experience is easily forgotten.

But make no mistake: This is a dying way of (digital) life, which will pass as surely as AOL and Compuserve. When it has been completely eradicated, when Grandma Glass is a thing, our descendants can return to this humorous time capsule and attempt to decode these lives and these times.
